View source for Stone v. Graham

In '''''Stone v. Graham''''', 449 U.S. 39 (1980), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] invalidated as unconstitutional a Kentucky statute requiring the posting of a copy of the Ten Commandments, purchased with private contributions, on the wall of each [[public school]] classroom in the State.  The Court overturned the state courts of [[Kentucky]], which had upheld the constitutionality of the law. Justice Rehnquist was the lone dissenter in the case and wrote that the Ten Commandments had a secular impact on morality and law.
